Citrix announced plans to expand its strategic collaboration with HPE to private cloud and virtualization solutions.
The companies intend to deepen their work across joint solution engineering, product integration, validation and go-to-market strategies, with an initial focus on delivering Citrix Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) with GreenLake by HPE for customers seeking on-premises and sovereign deployments.
The planned offering is designed to combine on-premises control, sovereign cloud capabilities and enterprise-grade virtualization performance with the agility of a cloud operating model for organizations facing heightened data sovereignty and regulatory requirements.
“Customers are looking for modern desktop delivery that gives them flexibility without requiring them to compromise on control or performance,” said Shawn Bass, SVP and GM of Citrix’s DaaS portfolio. “Through our collaboration with HPE, we are advancing a shared vision to bring Citrix Desktop-as-a-Service together with GreenLake to support customers seeking modern desktop delivery with greater flexibility and choice.”
As part of the collaboration, GreenLake infrastructure will be positioned as a premier choice for provisioning Citrix workloads for Citrix Platform Flex customers requiring on-premises and sovereign workloads. The companies plan to explore industry-specific solution offerings and drive joint go-to-market efforts and enablement through both organizations’ sales channels to support customer adoption of the joint solution.
The companies also plan for Citrix DaaS and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops to be integrated with HPE Morpheus Software—VM Essentials as a key virtualization platform, including API-provided advanced functionality, and for HPE CloudOps Software to provide unified orchestration, automation, and observability across GreenLake hybrid deployments.
“Enterprises are modernizing their digital workplace strategies, and they need a platform that delivers predictable economics without giving up control or performance,” said Patrick Osborne, SVP of hybrid cloud technology acceleration at HPE. “By deploying Citrix DaaS on GreenLake, customers will benefit from a modern virtualization foundation with on-premises control and cloud-like flexibility.”
In addition to this co-innovation, Citrix and HPE will work with additional GreenLake ecosystem partners to drive greater adoption and customer value.

The enterprises that will define the next decade are not the ones that deployed the most technology. They are the ones who understood what their technology was actually doing. That distinction is not a philosophical point. It is the central operational challenge facing every organization that has spent the last five years modernizing at speed ...
AI is becoming the operating system of the enterprise. It acts as an invisible coordination layer that understands intent, connects systems, and executes work across complex SaaS environments. Previously, employees had to click through multiple systems — CRM, ERP, support tools, collaboration platforms — to complete a single task. Now, instead of navigating each application manually, they can simply state what they need to accomplish ...
In 2026, the cost of downtime or an outage is no longer just a technical inconvenience; it's a $600 billion wake up call for global businesses. As our digital ecosystems become more interconnected, each touchpoint introduces new risks and multiplies the consequences when things go wrong. And the data is clear: aggregate downtime costs for Global 2,000 companies have surged 50% since 2024, reaching a staggering $600 billion ...
Deloitte found that 74% of enterprises expect to deploy agentic AI solutions in the next 24 months. However, the rush to deployment is outpacing foundational work, though. Only 21% of enterprises have fully formed agent governance models in place. The result? AI agents deployed without guidance or governance begin to function as fragmented islands of complexity ...

I've spent a lot of time in the channel, and one thing I keep coming back to is this: a partner program is only as good as what it looks like in the field. Many programs look great on paper, but when a partner is in front of a customer navigating a complex hybrid environment or trying to make the case for AI-powered observability, the gap between what a vendor promises and what it actually delivers becomes very clear, very fast ...
Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
